Indecisive

First Place

Winter Co-ed Volleyball at Seattle Central Tuesdays

Holy cow what a match this was! Indecisive and The Net Prophets clearly were meant to be in the championship ring after what they showed tonight. From both sides of the court came smart shots, hard kills, sneaky aces, diving saves and sweet assists. It’s hard to put a finger on any one thing that made the match go the way it did as both teams worked as well oiled machines. Game one ended in a crazy long string of back and forth points. They went all the way to a 30-28 score, in favor of The Net Prophets. During this streak very few were caused by a missed serve, but by a great kill or smart shot by a front row, or back row, player.
On the Indecisive side both Emily and James were major contributors. Emily has a great eye of the court which allowed her to hit the right spot on the court many times throughout the match. James took a slightly different, but equally effective, approach by smashing it through/around/over the block to find the hard wood. From The Net Prophets I have to give best offense props to both Karly and Nick. On top of being a super scrappy defender, Karly has a mean streak at the net that makes me wonder whose face is on that ball. Then there is Nick. In every match I have watched, he can be seen jumping to attack from any part of the court, and 99% of the time his target is reach with maximum force. With all of these great attackers you have to chalk it up to the great defenders who hustle and dive to get every touch possible. And of course the setters deserve the biggest credit as they form the solid base of the team.
After all of the craziness of game one, the match wound down to some normal scoring, but still exciting rallies. At this point many of the next hours players were walking in and I could hear all kinds of comments that usually started with “Wow!” The teams continued their battle into a third exciting game with the tie breaker going to Indecisive.
